Some hit songwritersâ work is better known than they are. That may be true for Darrell Scott, who has penned such hits as The Chicksâ âLong Time Gone,â Travis Trittâs âItâs A Great Day To Be Alive,â Sara Evansâ âBorn To Flyâ and the oft-covered âYouâll Never Leave Harlan Alive.â
Thatâs not to say he is anonymous, particularly in Southwest Virginia, where over the past dozen years or so he has performed at FloydFest, Jefferson Center, the Lyric Theatre, Harvester Performance Center and Floyd Country Store.
Scott, a multi-instrumentalist who specializes in deeply fluent guitar playing, is returning to the region for two shows. On Thursday, he hits the Floyd Small Town Summer series at Floydâs Warren G. Lineberry Park. On Saturday, he is on stage at Lexingtonâs Lime Kiln Theater.
